Yes sir and ma'am, I can't anything but love, love, love the editorial from Missouri's own St. Louis Post-Dispatch virtually spanking our Senators Roy Blunt and Josh Hawley for not finding now former President Donald Trump guilty of insurrection.
Hawley and Blunt deepen Missouri's embarrassment by refusing to see Trump's guilt
A bit from the article--
The Senate impeachment trial of former President Donald Trump should be an opportunity for Missouri Sens. Roy Blunt and Josh Hawley to redeem themselves for blindly supporting a man whose conduct was indefensible. Instead, they continue bringing additional embarrassment to the state after having flirted with the abolition of democracy in favor of keeping a dictator wannabe in the White House.Hawley, of course, is the Senate’s biggest cheerleader when it comes to asserting that Trump won the Nov. 3 election and that Trump shouldn’t be held accountable for directing a mob to storm the Capitol on Jan. 6. Blunt had the gall to tell reporters that, until a 13-minute video of the Capitol attack was shown to senators on Tuesday, he had never taken so much time to watch what occurred on that “truly a horrendous day.” Both voted against allowing the trial to proceed.
Missourians must not allow themselves to be fooled by the weak boilerplate defenses by Hawley and Blunt. Hawley tweeted on Tuesday: “Today Democrats launched their unconstitutional impeachment trial while President Biden cancels thousands of working class jobs across this country. Americans deserve better.” In fact, a bipartisan majority of senators have deemed the proceeding to be constitutional. And the attempt to divert attention to Biden, who has not canceled a single job, is pathetic but oh-so-typical of Hawley.
I can't recommend the complete article enough.
Meanwhile, the Post0Dispatch doesn't stop there, either. They have yet more excellent, even powerful editorials on the Right Wing.
Editorial: Fox could finally face the (very expensive) music for its disinformation
Editorial: Unemployment beneficiaries get a heartless wake-up call from Parson
Editorial: Missourians should heed Danforth's warning. FrankenHawley is on the loose.
Seems clear the Republicans just can't seem to do us, the American people or even themselves, any favors.
